Aston Martin - Highland Hoon - October 17th/19th

[BigScotty]

Thanks Will,

I'd suggest you guys come along the M8, and cross the Forth Bridge. There's a huge layby just after where I can meet you and I'll gather you up and head to St Andrews for a nice coffee. Then over the Tay Bridge and up to Blairgowrie.

I'm at work right now, so unable to plot the route I'm thinking about. I'll try and fling something together after I've been to the gym tonight, and ping it to you off the forum.

Hey Hhooners!

I've pinged out an email to a few of you today, regarding lunch choices.

Can you get back to me asap, please, so I can take care of this.

Cheers!

Scott

[BigScotty]

Only 2 weeks to go!

Still waiting on a couple of lunch choices, guys. Please let me know ASAP, as I've had our lunch stop apply thumb screws to me this morning.

Chop Chop!

[BigScotty]

Martyn

Could I please have your saturday lunch choice?

It seems I haven't received it yet.

Thanks

[BigScotty]

No worries, Martyn

I can send the list tonight.

Routes will be emailed over the next week, folks. Keep an eye on your inboxes

[BigScotty]

Calling all Hhooners,

Not long now!

I've just mailed you guys the route directions and maps. Can you please check you've received these, and ping me if not.

Cheers!

Roadster peeps managed to get the roofs down yesterday.

Weather turned a little sour in the afternoon and overnight. Promising to be better today though.

And I had to offer to hold w111ams hand if he goes around the ring next year.

Typical AM banter so far :-S

[BigScotty]

Well, folks, that's it over and done. I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did.

I can't thank you all enough, for making such a massive effort to come all the way up here and support this event. You guys made it all worth the while.

A massive thanks, especially, to Ian and Eric for helping out with the run and leading you guys so well. Also, to Lewis for his photographic and video skills.

I'll dump some photo's here, feel free to join in

PS I love my car

You know, I think you're onto something there.

It's a quirky bugger, at times. It's spent a fair bit of time in the dealership. It's got a voracious appetite for fuel. It's expensive to insure and tax. I fought with mine, and it's corsa's, in the damp/wet conditions we had all weekend.

But, I wouldn't change it for the world

I think a few coats of Zymol are in order this week

Ian365 said:

give up the day job and do this full time!!

oh! If only!!!

Seriously, though, many thanks to Ian and Eric for all the help they've given - it wasn't just leading the groups on Saturday, those guys did far more than that since the event was announced.

Thanks fella's, you're bloody stars!

In the first photo the astute amongst you will count 9 cars. That's because Scotty in the only V12 couldnt keep up.

I was preserving polar bears by taking my time!

Sounds/looks great - more photos please

My usual rubbish youtube vid uploading now.

You'll have to make do with this until Lewis can work his magic

[BigScotty]

And the sun came out for our lunch stop, too

Just watching the clip...pretty fine editing...although something seems to have gone wrong in the upload as it appears that it goes in 'fast forward' mode at certain points

Looking forward to seeing even more.

Well done guys! Glad you all had a great time.

I'm jealous!

Just watched it myself and thought how an AM can sound and look like it is going very quickly when driven within the confines of our speed limits, must have been annoying waiting for the 2 cars doing the 35 mph overtake before you could get up to 60 to go past them

Looks like you had a good time and unlike Selon I am not jealous at all, Honestly.

I think that was just some random car, actually. We passed the camera's about all day amongst all the black cars that were there

Editing software must be due an upgrade, seems to have upped the playback speed for some reason

Scotty,
All looks fantastic. So sorry Molly and I were not with you Guys. I reckon that we will be up your way in 2015. My new baby is leaving the factory on November the 13th! Should be on the road by the 30th. Simply cannot wait!!

You could've came in the Polo, mate.

Nevermind, we'll let you off this time only

Be sure and let us know when you're heading up and we'll make sure we're free as well.

Now, how are you getting on with planning the Welsh Weekender for 2015?
